I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Red Moon Fortress, the inner city wall——

Chanup returned to the inner wall as fast as he could.

At this moment, the inner and outer city walls, which had just been quiet for a while, became noisy again.

The shooters ran up the inner city walls.

The soldiers in charge of close combat also stepped onto the outer city wall in a haze, and took their positions.

In the past few days, they have been picking up the equipment of the Japanese soldiers left behind, and then left these equipment for the soldiers on the outer city wall to wear.

After nearly 3 days of "changing shotguns for cannons", a considerable part of the soldiers on the outer city wall have put on the armor of Japanese soldiers and used the spears of Japanese soldiers.

In order to avoid being accidentally injured by one's own people, the breastplate parts of all the armors that were "used for their own use" were painted red.

As soon as he returned to the inner city wall, Chanup saw Lin Ziping who seemed to have just arrived.

"Mr. Chanup, you are here." Lin Ziping took the lead and said to Chanup who came first, "The time for the Aizu army to attack again is earlier than we thought."

"and……"

Speaking of this, Lin Ziping showed a worried expression, and looked at the Aijin Army who had almost finished forming outside the city.

"I hope it's just my illusion... I always feel that the Aizu Army at this time, the atmosphere... is weird..."

Chanup followed and turned his attention to the Aizu army still assembled and arrayed outside the city.

"...No matter what happens to the Japanese army outside the city, what we have to do remains the same—" Chanup said in a deep voice, "drive out all the Japanese soldiers who climbed up."

"...Yeah." Lin Ziping nodded lightly, "You're right..."

...

...

Red Moon Fortress, outside the city——

"Master Gamo. Master Hirata is ready.", "Master Mori is also in place."...

Gamo folded his arms around his chest and listened quietly to the incoming reports.

Of course Gamo knows exactly what generals his Aizu Army has under his command, and what tasks each general has.

After listening to the last report,

After confirming that all the generals and troops are in their positions, Gamo nodded: "...very good."

He lowered his arms wrapped around his chest, and then put his right hand on his favorite knife on his left waist—Ray stepped forward and slowly pulled it out.

The biggest difference in appearance between a Taidao and a Dao is that the length of a Taidao is generally longer than that of a Dao, and the curved arc is generally larger than that of a Dao.

Gamo's favorite knife named "Lei Zou" has a bare blade length of nearly 77cm.

After he slowly pulled out Lei Zou and held it high above his head, Lei Zou reflected a blue light with a bit of coquettish atmosphere under the sunlight.

The astonishing length and the cold light directly attracted the attention of everyone around.

"I'm the general—Kamao prison line!"

Gamo shouted as loudly as he could.

It's a pity that Gamo was not the kind of person with a loud voice, his voice could not reach the ears of all Aizu generals and soldiers, only the few hundred people closest to Gamo could hear Gamo's voice clearly.

"Your respective officers should have told you just now, right? In this afternoon's battle, I will personally lead the charge!"

As soon as Gamo's words fell, those who heard Gamo's voice clearly all cast fiery gazes in the direction of Gamo.

At this time, the Aizu generals were quite excited.

Because just now, they received the news that their general Gamo Gamoyuki would personally participate in this afternoon's battle, and he would still take the lead in the charge.

No matter how the times develop, it is a very inspiring and morale thing for such a high-ranking general to charge forward in person on weekdays.

What's more, the one who took the lead in the charge was Gamo, who was loved by the generals and was loved by the generals, who spent the same food and clothing as ordinary soldiers.

"Samurai of Aizu! Follow me later!"

"Samurai of Aizu! Show the bravery of Aizu with me!"

"Samurai warriors of Aizu! Come and capture this fortress with me!"

Among Gamo's three sentences, the last sentence was almost roared out.

After he uttered these three powerful words, the generals and soldiers around with him as the center burst into cheers and shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Afterwards, the shouting spread quickly, and all the Aizu soldiers, whether they had heard Gamo's words or not, all cheered loudly.

This is also the norm on the battlefield-because the transmission of information is extremely inconvenient, most generals and soldiers can only "learn from example". When someone is yelling, you tend to yell along, even if you have no idea what the other person is yelling.

After the cheers around him subsided a bit, Gamo slashed down heavily on Lei Zuo, who had been holding it up high, with the tip of the knife pointing directly at the sky.

"Follow me!!"

...

...

Red Moon Fortress, the inner city wall——

"What is that..." Lin Ziping muttered in a deep voice, while staring at the front of the Aizu Army that had already rushed towards them--I saw a very abrupt "small group" at the front of the Aizu Army. ".

On the left, right, front and back of this "small group" were several burly soldiers, holding in their hands iron shields that were extremely rare in the war army and were not used by ordinary soldiers.

These soldiers holding iron shields formed an "iron ball" to intercept all flying arrows.

And a soldier behind this "small group" was carrying an iron shield in one hand and a military flag embroidered with "Aizu Sankui" in the other.

Lin Ziping instantly concluded that there must be some important figure leading the charge himself. This big man is now inside this "iron ball" and is under strict protection.

Lin Ziping noticed that there must be some big person inside that "iron ball", and Chanup, who was standing beside him, also noticed this.

Lin Ziping wanted to order the musketeers not far away to "focus fire on that 'iron ball'", but Chanup's reaction was faster than him.

"Shoot the men with iron shields running ahead!" Chanup ordered to the musketeers.

Although Chanup's reaction was already fast, it's a pity - the "iron ball" was traveling too fast.

Because Gamo personally participated in the battle, the morale of the Aizu army soared, so they even ran faster. Even if the "iron ball" was very fast, the soldiers behind could barely catch up.

And Chanup and their flintlocks are all muskets. A musket is not the kind of gun that you can point and shoot. Shooting long-distance targets with a smooth-bore flintlock gun depends on luck...

Therefore—even though Chanup had quickly ordered to focus fire on the "iron ball", but until the "iron ball" was under the outer city wall, only 2 bullets hit the target smoothly.

And these two bullets only barely penetrated the iron shield and injured the guard who resisted the shield, but did not hurt the "big man" who was heavily protected.

The "big man" who was heavily protected was naturally Gamo who took the lead in the charge.

Under the protection of the guards, after they arrived at the base of the outer city wall safely, the soldiers who followed them also built the long ladder at an extremely fast speed.

After the long ladder was built, he grabbed the long ladder with one hand and walked away with his thunder in the other. Like an agile ape, he was the first to "slide" up the city wall along the long ladder.

"Quick! Someone is coming up!"

"Stab him down!"

"Poke it down!"

...

The soldiers on the outer wall reacted quickly.

After nearly three days of fierce fighting, they gradually got used to how to fight and how to efficiently stab down the enemy soldiers who climbed up the city wall.

Before Gamo showed his head, four soldiers formed a fan shape, pointed their spears at the mouth of the long ladder, and prepared to shoot Gamo down as soon as he emerged.

Their plan is very good.

It's a pity—they miscalculated the combat power of the incoming enemy...

Gamo emerged from behind the city wall as they wished, and the four soldiers immediately stabbed with their spears.

But just as they stabbed forward with the spears in their hands, they saw a horizontal knife flash in front of them.

Gamo waved his thunder away.

The light of the knife that swept horizontally cut off the spearheads of the four of them in one go, and their offensive was disintegrated in this way.

Gamo kicked his feet and took this opportunity to quickly jump up the city wall.

The four soldiers saw several sword lights again—and this time, the sword lights were no longer directed at them with spears, but at them...

These 4 warriors were all wearing ashigaru armors that had just been changed, so Gamo didn't choose to attack their bodies, and they all slashed at those parts of their bodies that were not protected by the armor.

Pu Sheng swung four knives in a row, obviously one after the other, but because the knives were too fast, it looked like the four fighters were hit by the knives at the same time and fell down.

The first person to climb up the wall was their general Gamo—this boosted the morale of the generals of Aizu.

The generals of Aizu cheered one after another, and along the long ladder they built, swarmed up the outer city wall like a swarm of ants.

"Follow me!!" After yelling these words with all his might, Gamo flicked away the thunder in his hand, and after shaking off the blood of the four soldiers that had just stained the blade, he rushed towards the Red Moon Fortress closest to him warrior.

At this moment, Kamo has already shown its fangs.

Although Tai Daoshu is a swordsmanship that can show its full power only on horseback, it is more than enough to deal with the fighters of the Red Moon Fortress who have no other strengths in battle except bow skills.

Gamo is not tall, but strength is not his forte.

His forte is his agility.

Even though he was wearing heavy armor, he was still like a piece of soft water, "flowing" at an extremely fast speed in every crevice on the battlefield.

He "flowed" in front of a certain soldier. Because Gamo was too fast, the soldier felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder before he had time to react - Gamo swung his knife and slashed his right shoulder , and then cut the man in half.

At this time, a soldier standing next to him stabbed Gamo with a gun. But Pu Sheng dodged it nimbly, then raised the tip of the knife and pierced the man's throat.

When retracting the knife, with a sweeping sweep, the body of the person next to him was cut in half, and the body of the person was cut into two evenly...

After beheading 3 people in one breath, Gamo "flowed" again, flowing to other places...

The soldiers often saw the flash of the sword before they could react.

Or just blinked, and suddenly saw another person in front of him...

Gamo's onslaught seemed to give the generals of Aizu a shot in the arm.

Everyone was cheering or shouting Gamo's name.

With their morale and fighting spirit soaring, they exploded with extremely strong strength, and the intensity of their attack was far greater than this morning.

The majestic Kamo is like a sharp wedge, piercing the thick wall of the outer city wall, creating a crack with it as the center. As the wedge gradually deepens, the crack continues to deepen...

...

...

The whole army -

"Gamao-kun's swordsmanship is really well-deserved..." Inamori, who was watching the battle with a telescope, said with emotion.

Gamo planned to take the lead in the charge this afternoon - such an important matter, Gamo naturally reported it to Inamori immediately.

Inamori naturally refused at first. After all, Gamo is also the chief general of the Aizu Army, and the general's personal battle can greatly boost morale, but if the general is injured in the battle, it will be bad.

But Gamo was stubborn and tried hard to persuade Daomori. So under Gamo's persuasion, Inamori finally reluctantly agreed to Gamo's plan of "leading the charge".

At the beginning of the battle, Inamori frowned slightly with a little worry.

But now, after seeing the excellent battle situation, Inamori's slightly frowning brows slowly relaxed.

"Master Inamori."

A general who didn't have a telescope and couldn't see the battle on the front line asked Inamori anxiously.

"How about the battle now?"

"Master Gamo personally took the lead in the charge, and the Aizu army has completely gained the upper hand." Inamori said succinctly with a proud smile on his face, "It's a pity that those barbarians in the fortress are not weak and deceitful persimmons. Gamo's offensive It was still barely stopped, but those barbarians also paid a lot of casualties for it."

Inamori's words directly caused all the generals present to turn their shocked and astonished eyes to the outer city wall, which was constantly ringing out in the distance.

Different generals showed different expressions.

Some generals showed admiration and joy.

But there are also some generals whose expressions are quite tangled—such as Qiuyue and Kuroda, who are not only the generals of the First Army, but also the generals of the Sendai Domain.

The generals of the First Army basically all looked embarrassed now.

Originally, they had no results for two consecutive days, but today they looked at the siege of the Aizu army with the mentality of watching a joke.

However... the slaps came one after another...

This morning, the Aizu army has already shown its prowess.

But now, General Gamo of the Aizu Army took the lead in charging directly, and dealt a head-on blow to the barbarians in the fortress...

How can this not embarrass the generals of the First Army? How not to get entangled...

Many generals of the First Army even began to bow their heads due to embarrassment and entanglement, watching their noses and noses, and their noses watching their hearts.

"...Hi." Qiuyue, who was standing next to Kuroda, asked Qiuyue next to her in a low voice, "Aizu...will it be possible to capture the outer city wall before this evening..."

"...I find it difficult." Kuroda replied softly, "Those barbarians in the fortress are not that easy to deal with."

"But... Even if the outer city wall of the Red Moon Fortress cannot be taken down before tonight, the battle of Kamo and the others can greatly deter those barbarians..."

...

...

Red Moon Fortress, the inner city wall——

Chanup and the others naturally had a panoramic view of Gamo's horror.

Gamo is galloping.

Their warriors die.

No one can stop Gamo.

Gamo and the others also resorted to various methods early on to try to counter Kamo.

Send out elite fighters to chase and intercept Gamo, and send out elite archers to shoot him precisely...

But these methods of theirs have had little effect...

Because the battlefield was too chaotic, it was difficult for the archers to shoot Gamo. And Gamo is also very smart, he never exposes himself to a place where the archers on the inner city wall can shoot, he always hides himself in crowded places, and keeps moving at a high speed, making it more difficult for the archers to aim.

And the elite fighters they sent were completely powerless against Gamo...

Gamo waved the sword in his hand as if he had entered the land of no one, harvesting one life after another.

"... Chanup, I'm in trouble." Retannoe, who was standing beside Chanup, said in a deep voice, "How should we deal with that very difficult Kazuto?"

"...I can only do my best to focus on that person." Lin Ziping on the side continued, "I don't believe that person can dodge all the arrows."

Chanup has been looking at Gamo with serious eyes since just now.

Without anyone explaining, Chanup knew what would happen if Gamo was left alone.

After staring at Gamo on the outer city wall for a while, Chanup said nothing.

He just turned around silently and strode towards the direction away from the inner city wall.

"Chanup! Where are you going?" Seeing this, Retannoe asked anxiously.

"That person is obviously a general of Hejun." Chanup said in a calm tone, "The reason why the children on the outer city wall fought so hard is because the general of Heren personally Going into battle boosted morale."

"Then let's use Kazuto's method to deal with Kazuto!"

"I want to climb the outer city wall!"

...

...

The Red Moon Race, Chanup's house——

After Chanup left, Tang Shen still sat there, with his eyes closed tightly, showing an expression that seemed to be both in a daze and in thought.

To outsiders, Tang Shen seems to be just sitting around doing nothing.

But in fact, only Tang Shen himself knows - there are fragments of past memories playing back and forth in his mind...

...

"Are you going to use this broken pair of scissors against those yakuzas? It's just death for nothing."

"Those animals...killed my parents...just because my parents didn't pay the so-called 'guarantee money', I'm not reconciled..."

"..."

...

"The house in front is the headquarters of the 'Osaki Family', right?"

"That's right! Who are you! Don't mess around with us... Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

...

"Hey! Who are you? I haven't seen you before! Are you a ronin? Why are you bothering our 'Osaki family'?"

"I'm a rogue, and God's cross is soft. Because I don't like you, I decided to kill you Yakuza."

...

"Kamito Yuzo... I've heard of your name! You are the 'Kamito Impure Sai'! I, my uncle is an important minister of the Yonezawa domain! You killed me but... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh —!”

...

...

The fragment of memory has been played in Tang Shen's eyes.

Tang Shen slowly opened his eyes.

If Chanup was present, he would be surprised to see Tang Shen's eyes now.

The current God Tang, the emotion in his eyes is quite calm - like an eminent monk who has practiced Taoism for many years.

He stood up quietly.

At the same time, he grabbed the crutches that were placed by his side.

...

...

Red Moon Fortress, the inner city wall——

"Chanup! Are you crazy? Do you know what will happen to you if something happens to you?" Retan Noe firmly stopped Chanup, not letting him leave.

"I know." Chanup said sternly, "but I also know—if we don't stop that guy as soon as possible, what will happen to us."

"Leitannoe, tell me, besides me personally going into battle to boost morale, is there any other way to immediately stop that guy who is raging around?"

Retannoe was questioned.

His eyes flickered several times in a row, and then he gritted his teeth:

"In short - I don't allow you to go to the outer city wall, I just don't allow you to go!"

"We haven't reached the point where we need you to fight in person!"

Saying so, Retannoe took down the bow on his back

"I'll go for you! If I go into battle, it will more or less boost everyone's morale!"

"Calm down, all of you." Lin Ziping said anxiously, "Now that guy's offensive has been on the decline, and that person should be tired, you can try to make the archer..."

"Hey! Look!"

"Who is that person? The speed is so fast!"

"An unknown person boarded the outer city wall!"

At this moment, a surprised cry suddenly sounded, interrupting Chanup and their dispute.

Chanup and the others turned their attention to the outer city wall.

"This is...?!" The next moment he turned his gaze to the outer city wall, Chanup's eyes widened, full of shock and...joy.

...

...

laugh!

The sound of flesh and blood being split was heard again.

After splitting the head of a soldier in front of him again with the sword in his hand, in order to avoid being shot by the archers, Gamo hurriedly took the sword and dodged to a densely populated place not far away.

"Drink ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

At this time, Gamo suddenly heard a shout from his side.

Follow the reputation - a young warrior rushed towards him holding a spear.

"To be in such a hurry to die..." Pu Sheng sneered a few times, then advanced instead of retreating, and greeted the young soldier.

call--!

There was the sound of the spear piercing the air.

In Gamo's eyes, his thrust was so slow that it was no different from a child's attack.

Gamo, who has rich combat experience, noticed that his current environment was not suitable for dodging and dodging, so he turned the tachi in his hand, slashed at the spear with the back of the sword, and used brute force to block the spear, so that the direction of the spear's stabbing was staggered.

The spear was parried, and the young warrior's empty door was wide open.

A faint grin appeared on Gamo's face.

A look of fear appeared on the young soldier's face.

Gamo raised the Taidao high in his palm...

at this time--

Just when Gamo was about to make his military exploits more brilliant today——

click.

Footsteps suddenly sounded from behind Gamo.

And it wasn't until the footsteps sounded that Pusheng noticed that there was someone behind him.

Gamo, who was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps, suddenly shrank his pupils. Then he even stopped the attack that wanted to take the life of the young soldier in front of him, and turned around quickly with his left foot as the axis, turning to face his rear.

After turning his gaze to the back of himself, Gamo discovered that the person behind him turned out to be an old man.

An old man with gray hair and beard.

And this old man was actually a Japanese man in a kimono.

Gamo's gaze collided with this old Kazuto's gaze in mid-air.

Gamo's nerves were already tense, and suddenly a guy who was obviously not his comrade-in-arms appeared, and he naturally listed him as an enemy.

He subconsciously waved the thunder in his palm away. Lei Zuo drew a beautiful arc, and the trajectory of the sword approached the old Heren in an arc.

But the old man then made a move that Gamo did not expect - he raised the crutch in his hand, and used the bottom of the crutch to meet Gamo's knife.

Is this old guy crazy?

Gamo ruthlessly ridiculed this old man in his heart.

But just as he uttered this ridicule from the bottom of his heart, the next scene that appeared in front of his eyes made Gamo's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

He saw the base of the old fellow's crutch collide heavily with the blade of his Thunderbolt in mid-air.

Because the bottom of the stick couldn't bear the powerful slash, the whole crutch quickly cracked with the cut place as the center.

Then—the things hidden inside gradually revealed its figure as the crutches shattered.

a knife.

Because the crutch started to crack from the bottom, and the whole crutch was cracked little by little from bottom to top, so the knife was also slowly exposed from bottom to top, revealing his snow-white scabbard little by little. , handle.

After the saber was completely revealed with the shattering of the crutches and exposed to the light of the sky, the old man inserted the white saber into his left waist with a movement so fast that it seemed like an old man could do. In the hakama belt between. Then hold the handle tightly with your right hand.

laugh!

A white light poured out from the scabbard, sweeping Gamo's face from bottom to top.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Gamo, who had been invincible since climbing the city wall, let out a scream for the first time.
